Springtime is in the air . . .


Warm sun, blue skies and cool breezes = ROADTRIP Saturday!!!

The outdoors have been calling to us as the weather warms and we become ever more ready for the lazy days of summer. A couple weekends ago, we packed up the kids and headed to Guadalupe River State Park for an afternoon spent soaking in the sun and fishing on the river. On our way there, we found the cutest little General Store on our quest for worms. The Bergheim General Store was established in 1903 and had such a fun oldtime western feel to it. We had fun exploring the store before we continued on to the river.







This was the original cash register when the store opened.




The store was built in connection with the towns old post office. Andreas Engel, the store owner, was also the postmaster back then. His family has kept the store going as part of their pioneer heritage.


Mike has been looking forward to fishing on the river for a while. He and Logan had fun fishing while the girls enjoyed wading in the freezing water and searching for minnows. I was content to relax on the shore with a book in my hand.
